HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, passing the stool three to four time in day is normal one and it could be due to the diet taken, so I would advise to change her diet.
Passing a stool three to four time in day is not due to any illness but loss of water would be matter of concern, else it is nothing to worry, no need to give any medicine but at the most probiotic can be tied.
hope this information helps.
